School bus traffic laws are in place to keep your child safe. Therefore, student safety is the responsibility of all citizens. With the help of traffic stop laws, you will be able to determine what precautions you should take as a driver or road user to improve safety.

By law, all road users must be patient and wait for the parked school bus to load or unload students, so that students can get off or board safely. Do you need details on school bus stop laws? We will see.

School Bus Stop Laws

Different states usually have different school bus stop laws. At the same time, other drivers in Dubai have to wait for the school bus driver to load and unload students safely. Also, if a stationary bus displays flashing red lights, the oncoming vehicle and the vehicle ahead should calmly wait until the red light goes out. Meanwhile, school traffic cops, school bus drivers, and traffic cops have the power to signal traffic, even when the light is flashing.

Of course, violations can result in heavy penalties such as modifications, getting demerit points against a driver's license, and suspension of a driver's license. On the other hand, it is imperative that an official witnesses the infraction, failing which the infraction will be canceled for lack of evidence.

Moreover, modern school buses in Dubai are installed with cameras that promptly detect the illegal passing of vehicles and school management also focused on the driver training to follow the stop laws to maintain the status of a safe driver Dubai program.

Safety tips for children from the National Traffic Administration

Arrive at the bus stop before the school bus arrival time.

Stand at least 6 feet from the curb and form a line away from the road

Wait for the school bus to stop, open the doors and have the driver approve that it is safe to board the school bus.

If you must cross the street, move slowly to the sidewalk or walk to the side of the street so that you are 3 meters in front of the bus. Also, make sure that the bus drivers have noticed you when you cross the street and are well guided.

Use the ramps to get on or off the school bus. Also, make sure the fabric doesn't have any drawstrings or bags with straps that could hang off school bus doors.

Never endeavor to walk, move or remain behind the school transport

Stay at least 3 giant steps away from the side of the bus

Properly warn drivers whenever you leave something near the bus because they won't notice it easily.

Safety tips for drivers from the State Traffic Administration

A safe driver when leaving a driveway or garage, ensure no child walks or bikes to school

Be careful when approaching areas close to school zones, as students will be turned away unexpectedly (a student's only reason is to get to school on time)

Reduce the speed of your vehicle because children will drive recklessly and be very careful on unpaved roads.

Children who are late will never pay attention to traffic, so you must be vigilant enough to avoid accidents or injuries.

Flashing yellow lights indicate that the school bus is about to stop to pick up or drop off children.

Flashing red lights with stop arms warn drivers to wait patiently and not move until the red lights are extinguished.
